Youth suicide education impact: Prevention through awareness and supportive adult resources

The two phases of the study were a survey of all senior students in three rural public and one urban parochial high schools and interviews of groups of senior students, some of whom also participated in the survey activities. Objectives of the research were: to add to the current profile of what youth know about suicide and to our knowledge of factors described by youth as preventive; to obtain a measure of knowledge change regarding suicide resulting from participation in an educational program and of the apparent willingness of students to access adult assistance for suicidal ideation; and to obtain a measure of numbers of students who did access adult assistance for suicidal ideation.
